Enigma (2001 Michael Apted)

By complete coincidence, Tom Stoppard and Tom Hollander again both reappear in thriller with political / espionage setting, based on Richard Harris novel. Dougray Scott (not sure about him, really) is the chief decipherer aided by Kate Winslet as they attempt to find out what happened to Saffron Burrows. Jeremy Northam is perhaps a touch too supercilious. With Matthew Macfadyen, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Robert Pugh. Benefits from old-style John Barry score and Seamus McGarvey on camera.

Mick Jagger - of all people - was one of the producers.
